1165 5TH Avenue 2/3D

Unique opportunity to purchase a classic 8-room duplex in original condition at 1165 Fifth Avenue, just steps to Central Park. Rarely available and on the market for the first time in over 40 years, this unique, house-like apartment is filled with natural light thanks to direct southern and eastern exposures. Upon entry, a gracious foyer and gallery with original curved staircase leads to a grand and elegant living room with wood-burning fireplace and stunning herringbone wood floors. An adjacent formal dining room is impressive in scale and connects to an enormous kitchen with plentiful cabinetry and counterspace, plus a washer and dryer. A library/sitting room with built-in bookcases off the gallery completes the first floor. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The corner primary suite features a large walk-in closet with ensuite bath. The second and third bedrooms are both exceptionally bright, spacious, and equal in size, with great closet space, and share a "Jack-and-Jill" bathroom. The fourth bedroom is an ideal space for a guest room or home office and has its own ensuite bath. All rooms are connected by a long hallway with additional storage space, and gorgeous hardwood floors can be found in every room. 1165 Fifth Avenue is a premiere Carnegie Hill co-op featuring an elegant lobby with full-time doormen, and each apartment has a semi-private elevator landing. Amenities include a bike room, gym, laundry room, and private storage transfers with the apartment. 2% flip tax paid by the buyer, pet friendly. Please note this apartment is in estate condition and is being sold "as is". (Some of the photos have been virtually staged for representation purposes only.)
